Surgeon Simulator: A&E Anniversary Edition (PS4) Developer: Bossa Studios Publisher: Bossa Studios Genre(s): “Simulation” Released: August 13, 2014 ESRB Rating: T – Teen Surgeon Simulator received a lot of buzz when it initially released on PC, not because it was an authentic surgeon simulation game, but because of how absurd it is. After watching videos, I was intrigued and tried out the game. I saw the humor in it, but wasn’t a fan because the controls were horrible (by design to a degree) for me. When I heard it was coming to PS4, I knew I wanted it because a [...]

That, ladies and gentlemen, is Funky Barn and its a Wii U launch title. I admittedly hadn’t heard anything about this game until this trailer was released, and I really don’t know how that happened. I’ve since read around the web and have seen people calling it shovelware, and that’s nonsense. I like simple farming games (with the exception of FarmVille, as I don’t care much for any Facebook game), and this one looks like it could be a lot of fun.

Seriously, February through May is absolutely loaded with big release titles that puts this Fall to shame. I like the SimCity games and this new one looks fantastic. This is a franchise that I think could do really will on Wii U (I think of many ways in which the GamePad could be utilized) so I’d love to see EA [...]

Harvest Moon: A New Beginning now has a “soft” release date, which means you should be able to see it start appearing in stores this Tuesday, even though the official release date is November 6th. It’s for the 3DS. If I had a 3DS, I’d be all over this game. It looks great, and I love the Harvest Moon franchise. In fact, depending on how much cross-platform support 3DS and Wii U have, I may just purchase a 3DS at some point next year. But of course, what I’m really looking forward to is the first Harvest Moon game for Wii U. That’s one franchise where I [...]
